Veggie Omelettes
This recipe is for a basic 2-egg omelet. If you want a 3-egg omelet, be sure to use a 10 inch pan rather than the 8 inch an specified in the recipe. If you have a non-stick pan, use it. It is the best thing to make omelets in. I have one non-stick pan and I only use it for omelets. If you don’t have a non-stick pan, that’s ok, just make sure you take the oiling-the-pan step VERY seriously. Another great tool to have is a heat-resistant rubber spatula. It will help you flip like a pro!
Secrets to Success
The trick to these omelettes is to cook it over medium-low heat. You don’t want to overcook the eggs at all. You want to make a nice, fluffy, yellow egg-pancake and then fill it and fold it. I swear it’s as easy as it sounds! Just follow my simple instructions and you’ll be on your way to a great breakfast. Omelettes in a pan really aren’t that scary! You can do it! However, if you want an alternative to making your omelet in a pan, try our Omelette in a Bag recipe! I love both of these recipes equally and use them interchangeably. Both turn out great. It really just depends on how you feel like preparing them. Make this your own, personal “perfect omelette” by adding your favorite veggies to the filling. I also love putting pepper jack cheese on my omelets but you can use your own favorite.
Veggies to Add to Your Omelette
This is a terrific breakfast, brunch or snack to make when you need to clean out the fridge. Basically if it’s a veggie, it can be added to this dish. Some of my favorite vegetable ingredients are spinach, mushrooms, onions, tomatoes and peppers. But you can add squash, green beans, avocado, artichokes, brussels sprouts, asparagus, turnips, carrots or broccoli. This recipe is a terrific way to use up any leftover vegetables before they get too ripe. Dice up a ton of veggies and toss them in! I love serving these omelettes to my kids too. They get a giant serving of vegetables without even knowing it!
What to Serve with Veggie Omelettes
This satisfying dish can be served all on its own, or add a side of toast and fruit for a complete meal.
